Starlink India Website Goes Live Briefly; Company Says Prices Were ‘Placeholder Data’
Before the launch of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet service in India, its website went live, showing the prices of plans and hardware kits. However, the company immediately clarified that all these prices were fake and had inadvertently gone live due to a technical glitch. Starlink stated that it has not yet launched any service in India nor is it taking any orders. The real plans will be released only after receiving government approval.
Elon Musk's satellite internet service, Starlink, will launch in India soon. Ahead of its service launch in India, the company has made its India website live. Following the launch of the website, the various internet plans, hardware kit prices, and some of its features came out in the open. This caused quite a stir on social media, but soon after, the company posted a post that upset many users.
In fact, in a post on X, the company said that all these prices were fake and had inadvertently gone live due to a technical glitch. On social media, Lauren Dreyer, VP of Business Operations at Starlink, also said that Starlink has not launched any services in India yet, nor is it accepting orders.
She also stated that the information displayed on the website was "placeholder data" and not the actual prices in India. The error was quickly fixed, but the brief price changes have sparked debate about pricing and availability.
